Times when our world seems to be falling apart,
Breaking at all the seams, ending without reason...
Sometimes we've even prayed to die.
Times when we know there'll be no tomorrow...
Yet there it is just like planned... a tomorrow,
Then another and another... and still we live.
Through the deepest, blackest sorrow
We could never have imagined til now.
We grieve (as may be) for what was lost
Within the innocence and sense of wonder
The hope, we knew seems lost somehow
Our self worth, pride, smiles, vanity
For what was lost outside
The very sunlight turned cold and dark -
We found the reality of true sanity
Life is not fair, living hurts so wonderfully
Continually in the most unforseeable ways.
Tears will fall and hearts will break
For reasons that touch us exclusively
We survive, when we do, as we do, by
Becoming aware of ourselves and others
By giving what we can, as only we can,
Reaching past our own little world then cry
Through intolerable pain and impenetrable ilk
We find healing with the forgetfulness of time.
We learn to somehow dream again
Releasing anger, frustration, fears, and bilk
We find trust, faith, and trustability
Come to realize that we aren't alone afterall
We are only ourselves, each unique and individual
We're all special in ways and realize we are worthy
We are human with frailties tall
Born through pain by acts of love
Then continue dying from birth
Sharing our lives dreamers one and all.
